Hancock opens July 2nd, and I have a hunch that it’ll rock at the box office because of the reviews I’ve read this past week are totally jumping.
One awesome review by David Denby in The New Yorker was sent to me this morning. Wow! Hancock sounds like a whole new superhero movie that we’ve been needing to see. Peter Berg directs this film and takes a whole new approach to the superhero strut, pounce and win the sexy girl.
Denby’sreview sees the movie as more than a superhero movie but a lesson to be learned. Berg brings an emotional connection with the audience; let our juices boil, steam and overflow.
I read in the news today that Hancock’s star Will Smith plans on spending three hours on the red carpet in France to beat his buddy, Tom Cruise, who spent two and a half hours on the red carpet promoting Mission: Impossible in France. That’s a long time to be with your fans.
Reportedly Will Smith said he’d like to out do his buddy, but Tom Cruise has a drive that’s practically unbeatable.
Will Smith enjoys a tongue and cheek visit with David Letterman this week promoting his movie Hancock. Will talks about his promotional tour to Europe. This clip is part one of two parts.
Will also visits with Stephen Colbert to talk about Hancock. Things get a little side track as asked him if he supports Barack Obama because he secretly wants to play him in a movie of his life. Watch the entire interview here:http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml?videoId=174958.
Will Smith’s off-beat superhero film, Hancock, premiered in London this week with adoring fans and fellow actors on hand to wish the movie leaping success. The film is about a very reluctant and very drunk superhero who struggles with the interactions needed to save mere mortals from society’s darker side criminals.
Hancock opens in the states July 2 –looks like a sure blockbuster of a film – a Smith-gem, again.
